The former Lyon man broke his Champions League duck in style to give the Blancos a crucial victory
Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy admitted he was not sure how to mark his first-ever goal in European competition after providing the Merengue with a crucial away strike against Atalanta on Wednesday.
The left-back came up with the only goal of Madrid's 1-0 victory with just four minutes remaining after the visitors had played almost the entire match with a one-man advantage due to an early red card for Remo Freuler.
Defeat at home means Atalanta must score at least twice in Madrid should they hope to win the tie without a penalty shootout.
